Strangely, it's not MS' fault. It's the fault of the staffers who opened the door to MS.

Bundeswehr struggling against virus infestation
After the British and French military, the worm Conficker has also catched the Bundeswehr now. A few hundred computers are affected so far. Several offices were taken off the network to prevent spreading of the malicious software.
Berlin - The Bundeswehr is in action against computer viruses: Since Thursday the virus has spread to several hundred computers of various Bundeswehr offices, a spokesman of the Federal Ministry of Defense disclosed on Friday evening. "A few affected offices were disconnected from the Bundeswehr network in oder to prevent further spreading of the malicious software."
The Bundeswehr's Computer Emergency Response Team (CERTBw) and the company BWI Informationstechnik are working on removing the worm from the Bundeswehr computers, according to the ministry. Conficker had spread franticly fast among millions of computers worldwide during the previous days. The US software giant Microsoft has offered a reward amounting to 250000 Dollars (about 194000 Euros) for hints pointing to the Virus' creators.
On Thursday, the French navy had admitted that it had to temporarily shut down its networks in January: A soldier had introduced Conficker via a USB stick.

IBM basically laid off almost 1,000 people last week [...] At the moment about 75% of the 'articles' we see about IBM (in recent days) are some kind of slop
Very ill-prepared for the deteriorating situation caused by their clients' past behaviour towards many people, including high-profile figures who offered to testify
Last week IBM laid off almost 1,000 people in Confluent and the media didn't write anything about it, so don't expect anyone in what's left of the media to comment on Fedora's demise and silent layoffs at Red Hat
In an age when ~1,000 simultaneous layoffs aren't enough to receive any media coverage, what can we expect remaining publishers to tell us about Microsoft layoffs in 2026?
Is the "era of AI" an era when none of the media will mention over 800 layoffs? [...] There's a lesson here about the state of the contemporary media, not just IBM and bluewashing
